My vote has to go Tattooed Mountain Women and Spoon Boxes of Daghestan. How could you not buy a book that shouts out at you in this subliminal way? If I saw this in Kinokuniya, confirmed would buy one!!

On a separate note, just got back from another brisk walk up Telok Blangah Hill. D and I reached the top only to be faced with MY HAPPIEST SIGHT OF 2007... four young persons at the top of Telok Blangah Hill, sitting under the night sky, in the light of of a streetlamp, playing... wait for this... Taboo!!!! ARGH! ERK!

How many ridiculously fabulous hall nights spent over this? Will never live down the night, when in the midst of a Taboo party, old friend N says in his deliciously frou-frou French accent, "Oh Doe-rah, you throw the best partehs..." a la Ferrero Rocher "at the Ambassador's party" ad... Migod... 10 years ago... unbelievable...

Calling all board games lovers in Singapore, where are you? I'm in severe withdrawal and need to organise a Cranium/Articulate/Balderdash/Trivial Pursuit/or heck even Scrabble night!
